Ho...I know that you got the ATP off my index list. However, if you had used your cursor to highlight the ATP line, you would have see that under EPS heading there was negative growth.SPBrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10497905201043436744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8338172466331766962.post-75146639084613851512011-07-20T19:32:36.717-04:002011-07-20T19:32:36.717-04:00Hi Susan! I am reading you while being in vacation...Hi Susan! I am reading you while being in vacations in New Brunswick! It’s currently raining – again, but I have a great blog to read! Thanks for the mention, always very kind. <br /><br />First, I will like to say that I invested in ATP after reading your blog. You had ATP in a dividend chart of yours. I had too much invested in CDL.A. And CDL.A dividend yield being too low for what I like, I took a look at your charts, pick a few of your stocks having a mention “low”. From all of the stocks I found interesting at that time, I pick ATP. <br /><br />I am very surprised to learn that the business has no earnings. How is that possible? Very very strange. I was not aware of this. When I invest, I try to do my best of course, but I don’t go through an analyst like you do of stocks and I should started to at least try to do that. But the problem being also that so far, my gain always exceeded the capital lost, a mix of luck and some knowledge, but not in deep, so doing the way I do for now work for me.<br /><br />However, I have been EXTREMELY please with ATP. I bought my stocks at 14.99$ a little while ago. ATP closed today session at more than 15$. The dividend is paid on a monthly basis, with a good yield as you mention. ATP had worked well for me, but I won’t invest more in this one. <br /><br />Also, imagine this: ATP announced recently that they will acquire another company that I hold: Capital Power Income LP (CPA.UN)! So where ATP take its money to buy CPA.UN if they have no earnings? Strange, but... If you take a look at ATP chart from its beginning to present, the chart is quite impressive. ATP work for me. <br /><br />Also, another thing that I would like to mention is that Ken Hartwick, who's the President and Chief Executive Office of the super fantastic Just Energy Group Inc. (JE) (my favorite of all!!) is also from the Board of Directors of Atlantic Power Corp (ATP)... So this is something that brings in more confident but again, as said, I won’t invest more in ATP. No earnings? It’s a gangster company! LOL. Love it!Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439081666297874311noreply@blogger.com
